As you probably know, one of the best ways to learn French is to immerse yourself in it. But how do you do that without necessarily flying all the way to France?<\/p>\n

There are many ways for French learners to immerse themselves in the language from anywhere. From reading French content, listening to French podcasts or taking French courses, we’re going over the easiest ways to do it in this post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Create a “French-only” Space at Home<\/h2>\n

Pick a room of your house (or just a corner, if you don’t have much space) and turn it into a mini-France. Everything here should be in the French language or is French-related\u2014whether it’s the posters on the wall, the books stacked on the shelves or even the food you’re eating while you’re there.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve gotten your French space as French as it can possibly be, remember: When you’re in your French space, French is the only language you can speak, read and write there.<\/strong> By creating a space associated with French, it’ll be easier to be 100% committed to learning French in this location\u2014be it for 10 minutes or for an hour.<\/p>\n

2. Stay Updated on French News<\/h2>\n

Start with Le<\/em><\/a> Monde<\/a>, Le Figaro<\/a> <\/em>or Lib\u00e9ration<\/a>, <\/em>three of France’s largest newspapers. Le Monde <\/em>tends to report news from a more leftist standpoint, while Le Figaro <\/em>takes a more right-wing approach.<\/p>\n

If you prefer to watch French TV online<\/a>, you also have the likes of TV5MONDE<\/a> where you can watch the French nightly news. Through these news outlets, you’ll be exposed to both the spoken and written form of the language in authentic contexts.<\/p>\n

Speaking of authentic French news, you can get plenty of French news clips on the immersive language learning platform FluentU<\/a>.<\/p>\n

FluentU<\/strong> takes authentic videos\u2014like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talks\u2014and turns them into personalized language learning lessons.<\/p>\r\n
